Triathlon Australia Performance Coach, Cert III in Fitness, Austcycle Skills Coach
I like to describe myself as a passionate learner and lover of both the sport of triathlon and the art & science of coaching. A late bloomer athletically, I came to triathlon in my mid 40's as a non swimmer with a blown out ACL and no sporting background. Rather than see this as a negative as a coach - I see this as a positive. In other words I know exactly where the vast majority of working age groupers and those new to the sport are coming from. Since getting my first bike and managing to string together a few laps of the pool I have gone on to compete in all race distances and both 70.3 and Ironman distance world championships (twice). A professional science background has seen me continue to explore, research and reflect on my coaching practice. I particularly enjoy working with juniors, women and those newer to the sport who want to perform to their best potential. Underpinning all my coaching practice is the strong belief that EVERYONE no matter their experience or perceived athletic ability should be able to access quality coaching knowledge and support to enhance their enjoyment and participation in this great sport.
